About me

Shaquille Wyan Que

Sadly, I do not play basketball.

Resume

I was an intern at Jane Street this summer. Last summer, I interned at Google on the Go team working on pkg.go.dev. Previously, I've also interned at Molecula (then called Pilosa). All these roles are SWE.

Rice University

I’m currently a senior pursuing a Computer Science and Mathematics double major at Rice University. Here, I've served various roles, including

Teaching Assistant (CS Department) for the following courses:

COMP 140: Computational Thinking (Spring '19, Fall '19)
COMP 215: Introduction to Program Design (Fall '20)
COMP 621: Systems Software (Spring '21)
COMP 614: Programming for Data Science (Fall ‘21)

CS Club Officer

Internal Co-Vice President ('20-'21)
Publicist ('19-'20)

Peer Academic Advisor

O-Week ('19), Head ('20-'21), Year-long (‘22)

McMurtry Math Fellow ('19-'22)

HackRice 8.5 and HackRice 9 Judging Co-Chair

If you're currently a Rice student and want to chat about anything related to Rice or CS, I'm open to meeting you! I've realized that over the years, I've accumulated a lot of Rice-specific or CS-related information and resources, which would mostly go to waste when I graduate. Similar to how others have helped me before, I want to pay it forward and help guide others towards resources that they might find helpful or insights that they may not realize yet.

High school

In high school, I represented the Philippines in various international math olympiads and won some awards, including

International Math Olympiad

2 Bronze Medals

1 Honorable Mention

Asian Pacific Math Olympiad

Bronze medal

China Southeast Math Olympiad

Gold medal

Ten Outstanding Young Mathematicians (TOYM) Award in the Philippines (2015)

Since then, my interests have naturally shifted to Computer Science and practical problem-solving, specifically in distributed systems and algorithmic problems. As I dive deeper into this ever-changing field, I find that the critical thinking skills I have gained in math olympiads become increasingly more important in solving real-world challenges!
